I actually like coding and making things, so I don't necessarily see the executive suite somewhere I want to be when I'm 50.

As well one that many people do not think about is end of life technologies, COBOL, visual basic and other older technologies can be a bastion for those who want to do them. They pay well due to the lack of interest by the majority of technical personnel and owners of the technology are happy to just get someone who will support something that is not the latest and greatest.
- famousactress 16y agoYour opinions about the executive suite may change.. During my career I've increasingly found leadership a challenging and rewarding way to 'make things' in an entirely new way. Enabling teams of people to get things done is awesome. I get especially excited when I have the opportunity to help people who are frankly smarter and more talented than I am build things that I wouldn't have been able to build alone.
